Miami Auto Museum and Carla Returns


Dwayne drove to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport to pick up Carla who was returning from Kansas.  He toured the Miami Auto Museum prior to picking up Carla.  The collection was very extensive and had several vehicles with which Dwayne was very familiar as he had family and friends who owned these now antique cars from the 1950s and 1960s.  Pictured are vehicles with ties to Wisconsin companies - the Nash Metropolitan, the Nash Healey Roadster and the Smith Motor Wheel.  The museum's European collection was especially interesting as it included vehicles from Eastern European countries.  The vehicles produced in Europe in the decade after World War II were also amazing since factories, roads and bridges had to be rebuilt following the war and few families could afford the luxury of owning a car during this period of recovery.
